Although they lived near Hamburg, Germany since 1981, they had actually met when they were at school in London. They were formed in 1986 as a vehicle for songwriter and producer - Ralf-René Maué. Their musical style was catchy and highly infectious Eurobeat dance music combined with choreography acquired during their experience as Rollerblade dancers prior to forming London Boys. Consequently their early releases were marketed towards the Eurodisco scene.
They are remembered mainly for singles from their classic 1989 album The Twelve Commandments Of Dance, which peaked at No.2 on the UK charts. Most notable of these songs were London Nights, which peaked at No.2, and Requiem, which reached No.4 and was their breakthrough chart entry in April 1989. Another single, a remixed version of their 1987 release Harlem Desire, reached No.17.
Their second album "Sweet Soul Music" was released in 1991 and the 3rd album "Love 4 Unity" in 1993. The 4th album "Hallelujah Hits" was released in 1995. This album was relased under the name of "The New London Boys" and it was a combination of religious music and eurobeat dance music.

never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough.
I love you - I love you !
Eat
kiss
cry a lot
and the whole world's living in a parking-lot
bacause you know I'd be the guardian angel of our destiny.
I said: Hip man
rise up
and the rain was falling in the papercup
because you
girl and me
we'll climb the mountain of eternity.
I love you - I love you !
You're the love of my life
my life
my life
and I won't let you go now
this is a requiem for: Love
our love
our love is a miracle now.
Like a thief in the night
the night
the night
I was begging for love
this is a requiem for; Life has set me free
taking a chance on you and me
this is the story now
the story of our love.
Never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough
never gonna get enough.
I love you - I love you !
I said: 3-2-1 go
we quit the party
let the fire glow
because I feel the need
the burning fever that is guaranteed
to make you feel twice as nice
and light the magic in your angel-eyes
just you
girl
and me
the guardian angels of our destiny.
And I love you - I love you !
You're the love of my life
my life
my life
and I won't let you go now. ...
You're the love of my life
my life
my life
and I won't let you go now. ...
The lyrics of London Boys’ song Requiem are about the intense and passionate feeling of love that the singer has for his partner. The repetition of the line “never gonna get enough” emphasizes the singer’s insatiable desire and love for his partner. He wants to eat, kiss and cry with his partner because he believes that the world is one big parking lot and they only have each other in it.
The singer believes that he and his partner have a special connection that will last through eternity. He wants to climb the mountain of eternity with his partner and be their guardian angel. The love that they share is a miracle and worth fighting for. Even though life has set him free, he is taking a chance on love and his partner. He feels that their love is a story worth telling and a requiem to keep their relationship alive.
The lyrics of this song could be interpreted as an ode to everlasting love that can withstand any obstacle. The chorus of “I love you – I love you” repeated several times could represent the idea that love is simple, unchanging, and eternal. The lyrics are filled with imagery of guardian angels and climbing mountains, which could be considered symbolic of the idea of overcoming challenges to maintain a healthy and happy relationship.

어릴 때,
유로댄스가 휩쓸 때,
아하, 조이, 컬쳐클럽, 라디오라마 등등.
그래도 언제나 런던보이스가 탑이었다.
나오는 곡마다 히트곡 대박을 터뜨렸지.
그때 방송에서는 왜 안 틀어줬는지?
길거리에서는 1등
